How many of those have we cancelled recently… I know I use two of those but used more this time last year. If anything the jolt is welcome.
As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN
And they are all Trump supporters

Why would DHS need your DNA or your ocular profile to determine citizenship?
Beginning to sound a lot like eugenics to me.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Palo Alto neighbors complained about the noise, the presence of security and the hordes of traffic. Then, neighbors noticed that an unlicensed school appeared to be operating out of the Zuckerberg compound. They began a crusade to shut it down that did not end until summer 2025.

Donald Trump is the most powerful person in the world. Only a monster would use that power to force 42 million Americans to go hungry.

After listening to @thebulwark.com @timmiller.bsky.social @crampell.bsky.social this morning re #receipts, I found this presentation fascinating. I hope to see a similar takedown of the Trump family.
At a recent presentation at Cambridge, (prince) Andrew biographer Dr Andrew Lownie claims Epstein and Melania Trump were lovers before Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. When his biography on Andrew was released, Trump forced the publisher to redact those portions with threats of litigation.

Receipts…
O'DONNELL: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?
TRUMP: No. I think they haven't gone far enough.

Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.
